The film follows legendary female surfer Carissa Moore.

Centered around the 2019 World Surf League Championship Tour season and Olympic qualification, the film follows the Honolulu native’s journey in giving back, inspiring the younger generation and ultimately striving to be defined by more than the results. This inspirational film showing all aspects of the world champion’s life is summarized nicely by Carissa with… “I’ve always been chasing results and other people’s validation. In 2019, I was finally like, “No, none of that matters. I’m a daughter, I’m a sister. I’m a friend, I’m a wife”
